Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Grin Ribber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Edge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ribber might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ay Ay Ay. Edge has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music. Grin Ribber could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Christian Edge's chin.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Alvado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Spawn Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alvado's entrance music is Obie Trice - Ups & Downs. A fine choice. Diego has chosen Turn it up(Shine On) Chamillionaire as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Pablo Alvado has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
